Boo Corrigan has to be shitting himself right now.

Washington and Michigan (barring some sort or collapse) are locks.

Now let’s say Georgia is 12-1, FSU is 13-0, Texas is 12-1, and Alabama is 12-1… who are the other two teams?

Also, remember that Corrigan is the AD at NCSU, he’s going to fight hard for a 13-0 FSU team.

In that scenario, I think Bama and Georgia have to be out. While I’d hate it as a Bama grad, it would be the right thing to do.

FSU has to make it if undefeated.  Texas is #4.  SEC gets left out.  That said Bama might be the best team right now lol

It’s tough because FSU is an undefeated champion but the argument is there that they had a fairly week schedule for a P5 team. Beating a mediocre Louisville team in the ACC championship probably won’t be enough to actually jump Alabama or Texas in the College Football Power Index.

Then you have Alabama who arguably would have the best win on paper out of any team in college football.

But then Texas would argue that they beat Bama head to head, albeit over 90 days ago.

I don’t envy the job of Corrigan.

I think it depends on how much SOS plays into the decision. Bama, Texas, and FSU would all be conference champions which apparently holds a lot of value to the committee.

So it comes down to SOS vs. an undefeated team.

FSU will say that no one beat them but Texas and Bama will argue that they’d also be undefeated with the same schedule and both will be higher than FSU in the College Football Power Index and both Bama and Texas also have a stronger SOS.

Bama and Texas will argue that if going undefeated is that important then we might as well let Liberty in.

Losing their QB will be a factor too. It's not fair but it's reality. For them to have any shot they gotta stop Louisville and show that they can score. Louisville has a good D. Put up 30+ on them and it means something.

Agreed, looking at FSU’s schedule, their signature win came against an SEC team that didn’t even make the SEC championship and that win was over 90 days ago when FSU was fully healthy.

Corrigan will fight hard for an undefeated FSU team but if they don’t dominate a Louisville team that is coming off of a loss to an average SEC team, then I can see FSU getting jumped.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
